persona4-arena-featured

When I heard about Persona 4 Arena, The only things I really knew about it was that it was being developed by Arc System Works (the brilliant team behind the BlazBlue series).

I’m not going to blame you if you haven’t paid much attention to Insomniac’s brand spanking new multiplatform IP, Fuse.

Before you go getting all excited over this expansion I’m going to knock down your expectations a peg or two. Dark Arisen commits nearly all the atrocities of its predecessor. Missions never venture away from the standard fetch quest, characters remain as monotonous as Entourage’s Vincent Chase and your pawns repetitive dialogue still encourages you to scalp their face and pour vinegar over the remaining flesh wound.
